The day is finally here when Sridevi Kapoor’s wax statue will be unveiled at Madame Tussauds Singapore. For the same, her daughter, Janhvi Kapoor was papped at the airport, as she made her entry.

‘Maa’- the very word is enough to evoke gazillion emotions in a person. The way she holds the entire family together and keeps it intact, not to mention the truckloads of other responsibilities she has, surely makes us sit back and wonder in amazement over mom’s super-human capabilities. No matter how old we get, we are never too grown-up enough for our moms. We look up to her for every possible life remedies and the very thought of existing without her can send shivers down our spine. Unfortunately, the latter happened with Janhvi Kapoor and Khushi Kapoor last year, on February 24, 2018.

The wax of Sridevi Kapoor is a tribute to the actress for the applaud-worthy work that she had done in the field of entertainment. Lizzie Parkinson, a costumier from Merlin Magic Making team in the UK, had stated, "It was a privilege to recreate such a legendary star in close collaboration with her family. What made this project particularly challenging and interesting was the recreation of her outfit. Her crown, cuffs, earrings and dress brooch were 3D-printed and went through numerous tests to achieve the level of detail needed. It was a joy to see everyone's work come together and we look forward to unveiling the figure soon."
